His name is Shukaku.... so I don't think he needed to tell Naruto it personally.

And are you the only one disappointed? No idea, Not many people have commented on weather they liked the chapter or not.

Not that great of a chapter. After the long break i had expected more.

I kind of get the Bijuu's appearing in his mind, but the Rinnegan appearing aswell has me confused. Is Kishi trying to say that Naruto was using the resolve he told the Bijuu's he would use and is remembering his words to Pain to motivate himself? thats about the only thing i could think of and it is not a great answer.

I guess Shikaku already knows who Naruto is since they fought years ago, but that once again is a shitty answer for something that should be a clearer.

A popular fan theory is that the "Nine Names" the Bijuu bestowed upon Naruto are actually fragments of the Rikudou's power, and using that power will end up being a major trump card. This chapter basically confirms that theory without actually revealed what exactly Naruto is planning... for certain, it involves tackling the Juubi directly.

The Rinnegan appearing in Naruto's mind was the Rikudou's power revealing itself. The Juubi seems to be responding to it, although it could just be continuing to power-up.

I liked what this chapter did for Obito... we quickly tied up the Rin plotline and denied the "big reveal" of Rin's death as a possible means of redeeming Obito... if he's redeemed now, it won't be because he realized Rin chose her death. That said, it's obvious that Obito WILL be talk-no-jutsu'd (and has been since we learned he was Obito, so I'm not disappointed).

Can't wait to see the Juubi's final form, Naruto's trump card, and the Sasuke/Hokage team.

However, Hinata saying, "Everybody, let's join forces!" at this point seems a little pointless. It's sortof a facepalm moment.

I'm actually really glad so many points were addressed... like Kakashi punching Obito in the gut instead of ending him with a Raikiri when he had the chance.

How do you think Obito knows what really happened back then, if he only arrived on the scene when Rin had been pierced? Did Madara or Zetsu tell him? Did he do his own investigation in Konoha or Kirigakure? This would also explain why did the mist adopt the bloody mist teaching method: we know the mizukage at that time was Obito. He probably wanted to get revenge on the mist by making them kill their dearest friends.

He did control the Mizukage for a fair while, so it would have been a pretty simple matter to ask him if he knew of it or to simply get the Mizukage to find out and tell him.

Thanks Rlin, so the 9 names are kind of a Skyrim "fuss, ro, Da" but in the Naruto case it is "shikaku -> Kurama", words being the personification of power.

Great that the whole Rin thing is cleared up. But how come Obito can survive with a big hole in his chest? That left part of his body isn't zetsu material is it?

it isn't, or at least i think it's not. Maybe the real source of his life energy wasn't the heart anymore, but the zetsu side, which provides vital energy trough hashirama cells. I think this adds an emphasys on the fact that Obito is not truly a human being anymore, or far from being one after all that has been done to him. He's just a biological machine fueled by hatred.
